Amongst other good services they have aided the artist by reproducing the exact facsimile of the hut in which Dr.Livingstone expired, besides making models of the "kitanda" on which he was carried, and of the village in which his body lay for fourteen days.
I need not add what ready and valuable assistance I have derived from the Doctor's old companion Dr.Kirk wherever I have found it necessary to apply to him; some of the illustrations are more particularly owing to his kindness.
It only remains to say that it has been thought advisable to retain all the strictly scientific matter found in Dr.Livingstone's journals for future publication.

When one sees that a register of the daily rainfall was kept throughout, that the temperature was continually recorded, and that barometrical and hypsometrical observations were made with unflagging thoroughness of purpose year in and year out, it is obvious that an accumulated mass of information remains for the meteorologist to deal with separately, which alone must engross many months of labour.
A constant sense of great responsibility has been mine throughout this task, for one cannot doubt that much of the future welfare of distant tribes and races depends upon Livingstone obtaining through these records a distinct hearing for their woes, their misery, and above all for their willingness to welcome men drawn towards them by motives like his.
At the same time memory and affection have not failed to bring back vividly the man, the traveller, and the friend.

May that which he has said in his journals suffer neither loss of interest nor depth of meaning at the compiler's hands.

Nothing, however, had arrived on the 22nd September at Zanzibar, and H.M.Consul, Captain Prideaux, entertained serious doubts at that time whether they would ever come to hand.
